Hello List,

I would concur with what Steve Green stated in his post from my experience.
At one time, PDF documents were difficult to access. Now, PDF
documents are occasionally not accessible but only thumbnails are
stated by my NVDA screen reader as I down arrow. Subsequent pages - 1,
2, 3, are read, too but nothing pertinent to the document.
I prefer utilizing RTF documents or MS Word docs as a reader and
writer of fiction.
The adage, "good enough for Government work" is an apt descriptive of
the PDF from my point of view. Thanks!
